Do we choose love or does love choose us?
We do choose love, and yet...it also chooses us. We can choose whether or not to love, and whether or not to open ourselves to the experience of love. All of us are wounded in some manner or another--if only I could say that all of us understand this. Those who do understand are working on healing at all times, and there is no greater healing force than that of love. So those who are evolving, those who are clearing karma, and those who want to proceed on a spiritual path do open themselves to the power of love. Unconditional Love. This is a phrase that is often misunderstood, just as love is misunderstood. We can be in lust, infatuation, searching for security, and whatnot, but this is not love. Love is allowing each individual to follow their own path and supporting them on their path. It is forgiving each other for mistakes and allowing for errors within the relationship itself. It is also making a pact within ourselves to be who we are and to take care of ourselves first, for if we are not able to care for and love ourself, we cannot care for or love another. It is knowing when to draw the line and what to accept regarding the behavior of others. Knowing what you want as an individual will pull others into your life to love and will allow you to receive love in return.
